Unlike many Christian traditions, Quakers have no creed. So one of the most commonly asked questions about us—What do Quakers believe?—is sometimes a difficult one to answer. We posed the question to long-time Quakers, new Quakers, Quaker scholars, and more. Join us as we explore this nuanced and rich discussion of Quaker beliefs.

The School of the Spirit is now accepting applications for year two of its in-depth program "God’s Promise Fulfilled: Encountering and Embodying Grace in the Shadow of Empire." This second year focuses on moving from discernment into action. Participants explore their unique calls to action and learn how to live out their faith in the world, supported by a community of fellow seekers. The program is hybrid, offering four residencies (in-person or virtual) with online meetings in between. If you are seeking spiritual depth and a path for compassionate change, this is for you. Year two begins in May, and registration is open now. Learn more at schoolofthespirit.org/gpf.
